ESPN’s Chris Fowler and Kirk Herbstreit will make the transition from college to pro for the final week of the extended NFL season.
While they’re typically on the Saturday call for some of the biggest college football games in the nation, the booth pairing is set to cover Week 18’s matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and Denver Broncos.

This is the second time this college football broadcast team has called an NFL game over the last two seasons. To kickoff the season in Week 1 last year, Herbstreit and Fowler called a matchup between the New York Giants and Pittsburgh Steelers.
This has been a busy few weeks for the duo. On Dec. 31 they called the College Football Playoff semifinal between No. 2 Michigan and No. 3 Georgia at the Orange Bowl. The very next day they were in the booth for a Rose Bowl matchup between Ohio State and Utah.
Saturday’s game between the Chiefs and Broncos will kickoff at 4:30 p.m. ET.
